Gamdom is the most Indian casino of all time (their N3on sponsorship notwithstanding), and it's worth properly understanding why.
- Duel burst onto the scene with true 100% RTP, quickly rising to become crypto's most beloved casino. The Gamdom admins held an emergency Discord call, listened to "community feedback," and decided to hastily "copy" 100% RTP
- But in reality what they did was keep the 99% RTP games, give back 1% RTP in staggered rewards, and have such terrible wager requirements on the deal that barely anyone would be eligible in the first place. So not only is it NOT 100% RTP because it's not baked into the odds and you can't claim the rewards instantly, but it doesn't apply to most people anyway
They made the mistake of thinking you can just fool people by lying to them about having 100% RTP when you actually don't. It doesn't work that way, and whales will actually notice when you try to commit low tier fraud, believe it or not!
There's also their multiple disgusting mechanics with sports odds:
- On the day FairGambling released their World Cup page and independent assessment of sports edges, Duel was on top across most categories with the best house edge. That's because we ACTUALLY set the best house edge in our Betby settings, no other casino does this.
- In order to game the rankings, Gamdom temporarily lowered their house edge on main markets pregame, INCREASED their house edge on in-game betting, and kept their high house edge on player props. The purpose of this was to manipulate the FairGambling rankings and get Gamdom to show up on top as the "best" house edge for the main market, despite it being essentially fraudulent on a few levels, and also temporary
- Within 48 hours as the buzz died down, they turned it off, bringing their house edge back to being terrible, and they benefited from the smoke and mirrors-based publicity buzz (a tiny one, but still) where their influencers falsely claimed they had the best house edge (implying it's through settings or something that would actually last, when it was really just a manipulation tactic)
- They're doing the exact same thing now with the CircusFYI odds page launch, where yesterday they briefly decreased their edge to game the rankings, but if you look at other games that were NOT on the rankings, or any newly released rankings, Duel comes out on top
There is a highly devious disgusting pattern overall of not only providing worse value, but trying these dirty little tricks to make it LOOK like actual fair value is being provided. This is due to Felix's deep insecurity, jealousy over the success of Ossi/Duel, and a desperate attempt to replicate the same success by doing what he THINKS gets users
Here's the mistake Gamdom is making: Duel did not get users because it gives the illusion of value. Duel gets users by ACTUALLY giving the best value, ACTUALLY having the best sports odds (so that the best odds occur everywhere, all the time, not on specific places to game rankings); ACTUALLY has the best house edge and 100% RTP (so that it applies to 99% of users and 99% of bets, not a tiny subset, and not paid through staggered bonuses that most people won't entirely claim)
More importantly, Duel not only gets users, but KEEPS users, through being honest, transparent about what they say and mean, keeping it a hunnid at all times, and instilling in users the faith that there will never be any surprise Jewish tricks sprung on them out of the blue, so they don't have to be walking on eggshells all of the time, and can click around on the site knowing that they are getting at least reasonable-ish financial value
It's the polar opposite on Gamdom, where the site is quite literally a minefield of trickery, dark UX, scammy retention features, and misleading advertising. Therefore if you're a long term Gamdom user, you will notice yourself becoming a "low trust" user (constantly checking terms to make sure the terms say what you think they mean etc), it's overall just extremely stressful and unpleasant. Compared to Duel where you're always chillin' by default and know you're being taken care of, due to the inherent honesty and Ossi's tendency to want to play long term games with long term people (trust building) rather than Felix's style which is short term gratification and instant returns at the expense of a high trust blue eyed operation style
Shining a light on these shady tactics is a way to make people aware of how pathetic Gamdom is, and in the long run, this market will reward honesty and actual value provision. Players will end up going where they are treated best, and you can inherently tell from the ugly design and soullessness that the casino that treats you best can never and will never be Gamdom
